njsmalls Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Wednesday, October 4 Yankee Stadium | 8:00 PM ET Justin Verlander, RHP (0-0, -.--) @ Mike Mussina, RHP (0-0, -.--) Tigers vs. Yankees Scouting Report: Verlander (17-9, 3.63 ERA) has been the X-factor in Detroit's rotation all year. Now, manager Jim Leyland is counting on the 23-year-old after skipping his last turn through the rotation to rest him for the playoffs. He struggled over his last three starts, exiting after five innings or less each time with what the Tigers believe was general fatigue, but he has pitched well against Oakland three times already this season. Mussina (15-7, 3.51) was the Yankees' hottest pitcher during the first four months of the season, opening the year 13-3. A minor groin injury derailed his quest for a 20-win season, but now he takes the mound looking to take the first step toward the first World Series ring of his career. Mussina, who went 8-2 with a 3.30 ERA in 15 starts at home this year, is 7-7 in his postseason career with a 3.30 ERA. In nine ALDS starts, Mussina is 4-3 with a 3.38 ERA.

jranieli Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Well the rain ended here a half hour ago and lasted for about 2 hours. Heavy rain with spotty lightening. Not horrible though. Just a cold front moving in. I see a 2-3 hour rain delay and then game on. It is not heavy enough to screw up the playing surface. See you guys in 3 hours.
